< 1 صَمُوئيل 3 >

وَخَدَمَ الصَّبِيُّ صَمُوئِيلُ الرَّبَّ بِإِشْرَافِ عَالِي. وَكَانَتْ رَسَائِلُ الرَّبِّ نَادِرَةً فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ، وَالرُّؤَى عَزِيزَةً. ١ 1
The child Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. The LORD’s word was rare in those days. There were not many visions, then.
وَحَدَثَ أَنَّ عَالِي كَانَ مُضْطَجِعاً فِي مَكَانِهِ الْمُعْتَادِ وَقَدْ كَلَّ بَصَرُهُ فَعَجَزَ عَنِ النَّظَرِ. ٢ 2
At that time, when Eli was laid down in his place (now his eyes had begun to grow dim, so that he could not see),
وَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ صَمُوئِيلُ رَاقِداً فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي فِيهِ تَابُوتُ اللهِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ سِرَاجُ اللهِ قَدِ انْطَفَأَ بَعْدُ، ٣ 3
and God’s lamp had not yet gone out, and Samuel had laid down in the LORD’s temple where God’s ark was,
دَعَا الرَّبُّ صَمُوئِيلَ، فَأَجَابَ: «نَعَمْ». ٤ 4
The LORD called Samuel. He said, “Here I am.”
وَهَرْوَلَ نَحْوَ عَالِي قَائِلاً: «هَا أَنَا قَدْ جِئْتُ لأَنَّكَ اسْتَدْعَيْتَنِي». فَقَالَ عَالِي: «إِنَّنِي لَمْ أَدْعُكَ. عُدْ وَاضْطَجِعْ». فَرَجَعَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَرَقَدَ. ٥ 5
He ran to Eli and said, “Here I am; for you called me.” He said, “I did not call. Lie down again.” He went and lay down.
ثُمَّ دَعَا الرَّبُّ صَمُوئِيلَ مَرَّةً ثَانِيَةً، فَنَهَضَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَمَضَى إِلَى عَالِي قَائِلاً: «هَا أَنَا جِئْتُ لأَنَّكَ دَعَوْتَنِي». فَأَجَابَهُ: «إِنَّنِي لَمْ أَدْعُكَ يَا ابْنِي، عُدْ وَاضْطَجِعْ». ٦ 6
The LORD called yet again, “Samuel!” Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; for you called me.” He answered, “I did not call, my son. Lie down again.”
وَلَمْ يَكُنْ صَمُوئِيلُ قَدَ عَرَفَ الرَّبَّ بَعْدُ، وَلا تَلَقَّى مِنْهُ أَيَّةَ رِسَالَةٍ. ٧ 7
Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the LORD’s word yet revealed to him.
وَدَعَا الرَّبُّ صَمُوئِيلَ مَرَّةً ثَالِثَةً، فَقَامَ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى عَالِي قَائِلاً: «هَا أَنَا قَدْ جِئْتُ لأَنَّكَ دَعَوْتَنِي». فَأَدْرَكَ عَالِي آنَئِذٍ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ الَّذِي يَدْعُو الصَّبِيَّ، ٨ 8
The LORD called Samuel again the third time. He arose and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; for you called me.” Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.
فَقَالَ عَالِي لِصَمُوئِيلَ: «اذْهَبْ وَارْقُدْ، وَإذَا دَعَاكَ الرَّبُّ فَقُلْ: تَكَلَّمْ يَا رَبُّ لأَنَّ عَبْدَكَ سَامِعٌ». فَذَهَبَ صَمُوئِيلُ وَرَقَدَ فِي مَكَانِهِ. ٩ 9
Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down. It shall be, if he calls you, that you shall say, ‘Speak, LORD; for your servant hears.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
وَدَعَا الرَّبُّ كَمَا حَدَثَ فِي الْمَرَّاتِ السَّابِقَةِ: «صَمُوئِيلُ، صَمُوئِيلُ». فَأَجَابَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «تَكَلَّمْ لأَنَّ عَبْدَكَ سَامِعٌ» ١٠ 10
The LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel said, “Speak; for your servant hears.”
فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِصَمُوئِيلَ: «هَا أَنَا مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ أُجْرِيَ أَمْراً فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تَطِنُّ أُذُنَا كُلِّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ بِهِ. ١١ 11
The LORD said to Samuel, “Behold, I will do a thing in Israel at which both the ears of everyone who hears it will tingle.
إِذْ أُوْقِعُ بِعَالِي كُلَّ مَا تَوَعَّدْتُ بِهِ بَيْتَهُ مِنْ أَوَّلِهِ إِلَى آخِرِهِ. ١٢ 12
In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end.
وَقَدْ أَنْبَأْتُهُ بِأَنَّنِي سَأَدِينُ بَيْتَهُ إِلَى الْأَبَدِ، عَلَى الشَّرِّ الَّذِي يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ ابْنَيْهِ قَدْ أَوْجَبَا بِهِ اللَّعْنَةَ عَلَى نَفْسَيْهِمَا، فَلَمْ يَرْدَعْهُمَا. ١٣ 13
For I have told him that I will judge his house forever for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons brought a curse on themselves, and he did not restrain them.
لِهَذَا أَقْسَمْتُ أَنْ لَا يُكَفَّرَ عَنْ إِثْمِ بَيْتِ عَالِي بِذَبِيحَةٍ أَوْ تَقْدِمَةٍ إِلَى الأَبَدِ». ١٤ 14
Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be removed with sacrifice or offering forever.”
وَنَامَ صَمُوئِيلُ إِلَى الصَّبَاحِ، ثُمَّ قَامَ وَفَتَحَ أَبْوَابَ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ. وَخَافَ أَنْ يُطْلِعَ عَالِي عَلَى الرُّؤْيَا. ١٥ 15
Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the LORD’s house. Samuel was afraid to show Eli the vision.
فَاسْتَدْعَى عَالِي إِلَيْهِ صَمُوئِيلَ. ١٦ 16
Then Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son!” He said, “Here I am.”
وَسَأَلَهُ: «بِمَاذَا خَاطَبَكَ الرَّبُّ؟ لَا تُخْفِ عَنِّي. لِيُضَاعِفِ الرَّبُّ عِقَابَكَ إِنْ أَخْفَيْتَ عَنِّي كَلِمَةً مِمَّا خَاطَبَكَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ». ١٧ 17
He said, “What is the thing that he has spoken to you? Please do not hide it from me. God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all the things that he spoke to you.”
فَأَطْلَعَهُ صَمُوئِيلُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الْكَلامِ، وَلَمْ يُخْفِ عَنْهُ شَيْئاً. فَقَالَ عَالِي: «إِنَّهُ الرَّبُّ، وَهُوَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ». ١٨ 18
Samuel told him every bit, and hid nothing from him. He said, “It is the LORD. Let him do what seems good to him.”
وَكَبُرَ الصَّبِيُّ. وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ مَعَهُ. لَمْ يَخْذُلْهُ قَطُّ. ١٩ 19
Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground.
وَعَرَفَ جَمِيعُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ دَانٍ إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدِ ائْتَمَنَ صَمُوئِيلَ ليَكُونَ لَهُ نَبِيًّا. ٢٠ 20
All Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.
وَظَلَّ الرَّبُّ يَتَجَلَّى فِي شِيلُوهَ حَيْثُ كَانَ يُعْلِنُ ذَاتَهُ لِصَمُوئِيلَ مِنْ خِلالِ رَسَائِلِهِ الَّتِي كَانَ صَمُوئِيلُ يُبَلِّغُهَا لِجَمِيعِ الشَّعْبِ. ٢١ 21
The LORD appeared again in Shiloh; for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the LORD’s word.
